Where to go on holiday in March 2023 - Condé Nast Traveller

Image
Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo .

B-Squared Advertising  |  Special to Naples Daily News Imperial Homes of Naples LLC, one of Southwest Florida's most experienced and universally respected luxury home builders, has just revealed its community of Peninsula Treviso Bay is about to be sold out.

Peninsula is also one of the busiest places in the Naples' area as well. "Due to the recent wave of sales, we currently...

Small, not 'less than': Local business working on efficient, affordable housing initiative - Brown County Democrat

Image
The Beamery employees Rob Blair and Joe McGlothin trim and clean up a large beam used in timber frame construction in this October 2014 file photo. The business, which designs and constructs timber-frame buildings, is branching off into the construction of small, more affordable homes that can be put together more quickly than traditional-built structures. It is currently working on a mixed-use project of this type of construction in Lawrence County. Brown County Democrat file photo HELMSBURG — A Brown County business is making plans to create more options for housing, while creating local jobs for craftsmen and tradespeople at the same time. The Beamery moved into the former For Bare Feet sock factory building in Helmsburg in 2014. Formerly of Whitestown, the company specializes in timber frame construction, a traditional mortise-and-tenon method of putting together a building. Timber-frame structures are often rustic and attention-grabbing. They don't look like houses you see ...
